with Barclay Tagg
Every day at Saratoga, The Special
presents an exclusive Stable Tour
with a Saratoga trainer.
Raging Town: Two-year-old filly by Jersey
Ever meticulous and attentive to
detail, trainer Barclay Tagg runs a
tight ship. Last week at his barn on
the main track after training, grooms
bathe horses, pick hooves, apply Bowie Mud, ice legs and scrub stall mats.
Tagg picks rogue pieces of straw from
stall doors as he makes his way down
the barn aisle. Almost every horse
leaves their hay to greet him, begging
for scratches with pricked ears and
cheerful expressions.
“Nothing big and fancy, but we do
the best we can with what we’ve got,”
Tagg says about his operation.
Tagg is easy to spot tailing his horses back and forth to the track in the
mornings, binoculars in hand. The
former steeplechase jockey has career
earnings of more than $56 million,
having trained the popular Kentucky
Derby and Preakness winner Funny
Cide, and Grade 1 winners Tale Of
Ekati and Jersey Town among others.
After his final set Thursday morning, Tagg emerged from his office with
a list of detailed notes on every horse
in his barn and went stall to stall with
The Special’s Annise Montplaisir.
Avail Ekati: Unraced 2-year-old Tale Of
Ekati colt who went to $500,000 at the 2015
Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale. The colt reaches
his dark bay head over the webbing, hoping
for a pat. Tagg obliges. “None of them are
nasty. I don’t like nasty people or nasty horses. He’s a nice 2-year-old, he belongs to Mr.
8
(Charles) Fipke. We’re kind of high on him,
and he’s a full-brother to Tale Of S’avall.”
Im The Captain Now: Unraced 2-year-old
colt cost $15,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton
Kentucky October sale. He’s got a large teddy
bear hanging from the side of his stall. “He’s
a horse I bought for some people out in Chicago, really, really nice people. He’s by Trappe
Shot who’s a son of Tapit. That’s the closest I
could get to Tapit. Remember the movie where
the Somalian pirates take over the ship? And
when they took the ship over he said, ‘Where’s
the captain?’ and they said ‘He’s the captain.’
And he walked up to him and said ‘I’m the captain now.’ So that’s where they got the name.”
Flattermefabulous: Four-year-old Flatter
filly is entered in today’s fifth race. “She belongs to Jack Knowlton’s syndicate Sackatoga
Stable. She’s 4 and she’s a nice allowance filly
on the turf. She’s not great, but she’s nice. Aren’t you?” Tagg reaches over to scratch the
filly’s forehead as he talks. “She says ‘You’re
criticizing me.’ ”
Tale Of Mist: The 3-year-old half-brother to
Belmont Stakes winner Tonalist munches hay
at the back of his stall the day before finishing
third in a maiden race. “He’s a very nice horse.
He’s run well, he just hasn’t won yet.”
Hello Dearie: Bonner Young’s homebred
2-year-old filly by Giant’s Causeway out of
Grade 1 winner Bit Of Whimsy. “She’s a very
nice big filly. She’s a full-sister to a Grade 2
winner called Caroline Thomas, and she’s out
of a mare who won the Queen Elizabeth Stakes
at Keeneland. We got her in a little early. I’m
kind of glad. I’d rather have her with me.”
Town out of Grade 1 winner Raging Fever. A
groom is picking her hooves and slapping on
pieces of paper with wads of brown mud. “It’s
called Bowie mud, it’s very high in bentonite,”
Tagg says, referring to the mineral that will
draw soreness and moisture from one thing
to another. “We do it routinely with every
horse every day. It’s been used with horses for
thousands of years. We’re very, very high on
her. She ran a good second the first time out
(July 2), and it was just because she attended
the pace too much, she was never allowed to
relax.”
Risky Town: “He’s another 2-year-old, he’s
by Jersey Town out of a mare called Risky
Agenda, and he’ll be ready to run at the end
of the meet. He’s a big guy. I trained Jersey
Town, he’s a Grade 1 winner, and Mr. Fipke
made him a stallion.”
Say It Aint Frosty: Unraced New York-bred
2-year-old colt by Frost Giant. “He’s a horse
a guy just sent to me. He’s a new guy, new
horse. We’re going to try him on the grass.
He’s a beautiful big horse, a beautiful mover.”
Tale Of S’avall: A 3-year-old graded
stakes-placed colt by Tale of Ekati. He ran
third in the Grade 3 Dwyer Stakes at Belmont
Park July 9. “He won here last year, broke his
maiden here. He was third in the (Dwyer) a
few weeks ago and he’s going to run back in
the King’s Bishop.”
Frosty Gal: By Frost Giant, Frosty Gal sold
for $80,000 at the 2015 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga
New York-bred yearling sale. “She’ll run again
the end of the meet. She didn’t run very well
her first time out.”
Tale Of Fancy: The 4-year-old colt by Tale
of Ekati craned his neck over his stall, trying to
bite playfully. “I told her all you guys are nice,
so stop it,” Tagg told the colt. “He’s had four
wins and a third in his last five starts. He’s going to run on the turf. And you’d better win,”
Tagg said to the colt. “Be careful, he’s quick.
But he’s not mean or nasty.”
Highland Sky: The 3-year-old Sky Mesa
colt finished second in the Grade 1 Belmont
Derby last month. “He just got beat that far,”
Tagg said, holding up his hands to show the
neck margin. “He’s going to run back in the
Saranac. He’s a lovely, lovely, lovely horse.”
Realm: The 3-year-old Haynesfield gelding
sold for $75,000 at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton
Midlantic yearling sale. “He broke his maiden here first time out last summer. Then he
had some problems. I gave him a lot of time
off. He’s a really nice horse. I bought him in
partners with a friend of mine, Eric Dattner.
He was one of the first people in the Funny
Cide syndicate, I got him to go in with Jack
(Knowlton), but then he just wanted to have
some horses on his own.” A groom in the stall
rubbed alcohol onto the gelding’s legs. He
pointed at a nearby grooming box containing
horse cookies. Realm lipped it gently.
Homespun Hero: A 3-year-old colt by
Hard Spun who was fourth in a 6-furlong
allowance on the dirt here July 24. “This is
a horse I bought for another really nice guy
(owner William Ferrone), and he won right off
the bat. He’s won two races. He was fourth
here the first week and he’s going to run again
at the end of the meet. He tries hard.”
Royal Ekati: The 3-year-old colt by Tale
Of Ekati out of Sovereignoftheseas sold for
$180,000 at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga
New York-bred sale. “This is a horse we spent
a good deal of money on, and he’ll run again
near the end of the meet. Stop that now, stop
it. Be nice,” Tagg said as the colt playfully
nipped at his hand.

Continued from page 8
Tale Of Silence: A 2-year-old colt by Tale
Of The Cat out of Japanese-bred Silence Beauty. “He’s actually a full-brother to Tale of Ekati.
This guy is just getting started. No biting,” Tagg
said as the colt searched him for snacks. “They
all love their treats around here. I come back
at night to check on them at 9 o’clock and they
always stick their heads out to get rubbed. You
like that don’t you?” Tagg said as he scratched
the colt’s forehead.

Verve’s Tale: A 3-year-old filly by Tale Of
Ekati out of Verve. “She’s a full-sister to Tale
Of Verve, who Dallas Stewart won an allowance
race with the other day.”
Speighty Girl: An unraced 2-year-old chestnut filly. “She’s a full-sister to Jersey Town.
She’s by Speightstown out of (graded stakes
winner) Jersey Girl.
Tale For Ruby: A 3-year-old filly by Tale of
Ekati who won a 7-furlong maiden here July 27.
“She’s one of Mr. Fipke’s also. She’s only run
three times and last week she broke her maiden
just stormed around there. She’s got just minor
problems, but you have to go very slowly with
her. She and Verve’s Tale are his two 3-yearold fillies. They’ve both taken a long time, but
they’ve both got some talent. When they put it
all together they’ll be really good.”
Kitzys Rocket: Colorful stuffed animals bordered the door of the 4-year-old filly’s stall, a
fluffy pink and green snake fastened just below
the yoke in the screen. “This is the neatest filly, I
love this filly. These are brand new people, they
moved down from Canada to Ocala, kind of retired and wanted to get into the horse business.
They bought this filly out of the newspaper ads
for $8,000. She’s won (more than) $165,000.
She used to stall walk all the time, she was just
crazy in the stall. The people brought all the
other things, but the first time we did it we put
one big teddy bear on each side of her, that’s all
we had. We tried everything and couldn’t solve
it. So we hung a teddy bear from each side of
that yoke. And she walked up to those two teddy bears, and she got up there sideways and
leaned her ear against this one and her nose
against that one and has been good ever since,
no more stall walking. And those two bears are
gone now.”

cision designed to find a yearling that
produces a sound similar to a Songbird. If one is found that looks like it
can run like her, surely he or she will
do.
With the sun shining and the temperature somewhere between not
too hot and not too cool with a light
breeze, Fasig-Tipton President and
Chief Executive Officer Boyd Browning Jr. leans against the rail of the
outdoor walking ring and sets the
scene for the two-day Saratoga sale of
selected yearlings that opens at 6:30
p.m. today.
“It’s a really good group of horses
on the grounds; the activity has been
really solid,” Browning says. “The
right people are here in town, the right
horses are here in town and the success that our sales graduates have had
in recent years has been phenomenal
so I hope we have the right combination and it feels good. I’m optimistic.”
Fasig-Tipton catalogued 252 yearlings this year, up from 209 last year
and staking a claim that there is a demand for curated quality horseflesh.
“The buying population here is
looking for quality horses and hopefully the vast majority of the horses
that we have for sale are going to be
the types that the marketplace is really desirous of right now,” Browning
said. “Hopefully this might be a little
different than your average sale … in
that we have a high quality lot from
Hip 1 to Hip 252.
“(The growth of the catalog is) a
reflection of more opportunities. The
consignors have gotten more and
more confidence in the strength of
the Saratoga sale on the basis of their
results. Buyers have gotten more and
more confident on the results of the
horses that have graduated here. Four
Eclipse champions give the consignors real encouragement that the buyers are going to be there.”
The champions Browning references are last year’s Horse of the Year
and Triple Crown winner American
Pharoah, champion turf female Tepin,
champion 3-year-old filly Stellar Wind
and champion 2-year-old filly Songbird. They’re all on the cover of this
year’s catalog and Browning hopes
there’s more like them to follow.
“We’re trying to make this the best
yearling sale in the world for buyers
and sellers,” he says. “So if you want
to sell the best yearlings you better
come to Saratoga and if you want
to buy the best yearlings you better
come to Saratoga.”
Consignors are largely in step with
Browning’s assessment and not surprisingly positive regarding the feel of
the grounds.
“Traffic has been great, it’s been
pretty brisk, it trails off a tad bit when
people go to the races but that’s normal for here,” said consignor Marshall Silverman. “We’ve been showing yesterday (Saturday) and today

Sales –
(Sunday) and we have had well over
a dozen second lookers and I’ve heard
that from everybody.
“It feels much better than July to
me. People are pretty serious looking
at horses up here and of course this is
more of a boutique sale. At the end of
the day everybody is looking for a good
horse, a Saturday-afternoon horse.”
Silverman hopes he’s got one in
Hip 118, a daughter of Curlin out of a
half-sister to Grade 2 winner Songster.
“Nice, nice filly got a huge step on
her,” he said. “She’s all horse, all filly,
she’s got the right attitude and she’s a
Curlin.”
On the other side of the sales complex in Barn 7 across Madison Avenue
with 24 horses in the consignment,
the team at Taylor Made Sales Agency is catching its breath after showing yearlings non-stop in the morning
and into early afternoon.
“We didn’t start showing until
yesterday and we just got slammed
all day yesterday and today has been
flat out until probably an hour and
half ago” Mark Taylor says at about
3:30 Sunday afternoon. “It seems like
there are a lot of people at the sale
this year. I’m not sure if that is going
to translate into more money or even
new people, but there are a lot of people looking at horses who I need to go
try and find out who they are.”
For Headley Bell of Mill Ridge
Sales, the annual trip to Saratoga to
present his prospects to the buying
bench represents an opportunity.
“Saratoga is a unique market in
that there’s tremendous energy with
the racing and the whole atmosphere,” he said. “People come here
enthusiastic. Specific buyers come
here to this sale that don’t really go
anywhere else it seems, so it’s a broad
base of buyers. It’s a wonderful market, we brought two nice horses up
here, two Candy Rides (Hip 166 and
Hip 237) and they are two nice athletic horses, so we are excited about
it and look forward to it and embrace
it.”
Denali Stud’s Craig Bandoroff is
a veteran of the Saratoga sale and
knows what it takes to succeed in upstate New York.
“I like a horse here that fits the
American market because it’s most-
A yearling rests up for the sale.
ly a domestic sale,” Bandoroff said.
“I like a horse that has some eastern
appeal to it, either the female family,
something ran in New York or something New York people can say ‘yeah
I remember that horse when he won
the Vanderbilt or she won the Coaching Club American Oaks.’
“We like coming here, we like the
ambiance of the place and you have
to bring good horses, this isn’t the
second string. We have a really good
Tod Marks
Medaglia d’Oro filly, Hip 191, she fits
that category. If you don’t like her,
you don’t like horses, so we’re excited
about her. Overall I am pretty happy
with what we brought.”
With all the ingredients in place for
a duet of evenings to remember, the
crowd of buyers, sellers and industry
participants gathering on the sales
grounds over the next two nights will
be rapt with attention as these hand-selected yearlings go under the hammer.

The ninth installment of the Saratoga Yearling Diary, which started in
February and follows Hurstland Farm
horses in this week’s Fasig-Tipton
Saratoga sale of selected yearlings.
The series will continue daily through
the sale in The Saratoga Special. For

Nuckols delivered each one as a foal

evening Tuesday when the remaining
two go through the ring.
Nuckols obviously hopes they all
sell for a fair price, but doesn’t consider it a complete success at the drop
of the hammer.
“Hell, I pulled every one of them
out of their mothers so getting them
here alive was the fun part,” Nuckols said Sunday afternoon as activity
around the sales grounds started to
subside after a second straight day
of showing. “When they sell it’s kind
of like graduation day, you’re proud
of them. You hate to see them go but
you’re awfully proud of them. You
just hope that whoever gets them you
want them to be a Grade 1, blacktype Saturday horse. That doesn’t always work out.
“Sales have become so competitive
that sometimes people look for the
great sales horse and don’t care about
the great racehorse. I’m in the business
where I have the families, so I want
them to be racehorses and build the
family so they can be sales horses.”
Nuckols is optimistic on the eve of
this year’s Saratoga sale. He’s done
well here in the past, very well.
Four of the five yearlings Hurstland brought to Saratoga last year
sold for $1,175,000, including a
$600,000 Scat Daddy colt purchased
by Roy and Gretchen Jackson’s Lael
Stable. In 2014 Nuckols brought two
yearlings to Saratoga – fillies by Hard
Spun and Tale Of The Cat – and sold
them for $200,000 and $300,000.
Hurstland’s 2016 consignment features half-siblings to some of those
past sales successes.
“Success is getting them all sold for
a nice price,” Nuckols said. “I don’t
have any home runs but I don’t have
any dregs. We’ll probably fall somewhere from $125,000 to $300,000,
$350,000. If we all get in that range
it’s a good sale for me. I’m easy to
please.

Gatsby in the Lure at Saratoga) and
I’ve got one of those, too. It’s just a
good, solid consignment. I don’t think
any of them are going to completely
outshine the others.”
So how did the foals he pulled out
of the mares himself get to one of the
most prestigious yearling sales in the
world? Nuckols answered that question, going stall to stall, starting with
his lone filly and then working by hip
number highest to lowest. Think of
his review as a Fasig-Tipton Stable
Tour, yearling edition.
• Hip 232, filly by Giant’s Causeway out of Cayuga’s Waters, by Langfuhr. “She was tough when she was
first born. She liked nothing about
anybody, especially with her hind end.
This little filly, she was pretty slight as
a baby. It’s funny, a guy that works
for me, he worked with her and she
kicked him with both hinds a couple
times. The farrier, good God, he’d
come out of her stall broken out in a
sweat. He’d do two feet then would
have to wait 15 minutes and do the
other two. She just fought you so
much. I remember (co-breeder) Ashford would come by to see her and
she was tough then. Then about four
months ago, all of a sudden everything clicked and she’s getting more
and more mature. She was perfect going in and out of the stall. She’ll follow that feed tub anywhere.”
• Hip 248, colt by Broken Vow
out of Critics Acclaim, by Theatrical.
“The sad thing about him was he was
an orphan. The day after he was born
the mare died. He got through OK,
but she hemorrhaged a day later unfortunately. That was a bad winter.
He grew up with a nurse mare. We
put him on a nurse mare and he was
on her for about five months.”
• Hip 110, colt by Eskendereya out
of Northern Station, by Street Cry.
“As a foal he was leggy. Same body
style as now, just kind of leggy. He
was a nice little foal to be around, all
legs. Then he left, went to California,
came back and he’s still all legs but
he’s filled out. From being a baby he’s
changed quite a bit, but he’s still kind
of the same horse.”

of Miss Dolce, by Unbridled’s Song.
“This guy, the way it’s shaping up, will
be the stable star. He’s a nice colt. He’s
really blossomed. He’s come along, just
like that colt last year. The Scat Daddy was just such a lovely mover and
he was a little feminine but was such a
good mover and that’s what got everybody on him. This colt is the same way
only he’s got a body. He was always a
nice colt. The Street Senses, at least the
ones I’ve had, have a nice body.”

“He’s always been a lovely colt. The

Trail
Cloud Control bids
for 2nd straight win
BY SHAYNA TILLER
All was peaceful Sunday morning in John Kimmel’s corner of the world, the three buildings that
make up Barn 33 ABC shielding the serenity from
the hustle and bustle of Saratoga’s main track.
A day of preparation, as Kimmel looks to get his
first win of the meet with Cloud Control in today’s
$100,000 Cab Calloway division of the New York
Stallion Series Stakes.
The 3-year-old son of Freud started his career in
May at Belmont Park, finishing ninth after a tough

Calloway –
break and inability to maneuver the
field. He came back in another statebred maiden race at 40-1 May 22,
finishing second and 1 length behind
Cloonita, but was awarded the victory after the stewards disqualified the
winner.
Cloud Control tried stakes company in his third start, the Spectacular
Bid division of the Stallion Series, and
added a second victory.
“We ran him back in the New
York Stallions Series, which is obviously a restricted race and a limited
number of horses can run on the grass
as well as being sired by New York
sires,” Kimmel said, explaining the
conditions of the Spectacular Bid and
Cab Calloway. “He was a lot more
professional in his third start, he won
a lot more comfortably. It looked like
he really got ahold and a good hang
of what the racing’s about. So here we
are, another five, six weeks later, going a mile. Should not be an issue.”
Bred and raced by Chester and
Mary Broman, Cloud Control didn’t
make it to the races as a 2-year-old.
After a breeze last summer at Saratoga he came up lame. Further diagnostics showed a fractured third tarsal
in a hock, warranting a pin in the leg
and the winter off.
Kimmel brought the colt to Saratoga at the beginning of the meet,
breezed him on the Oklahoma Training Track’s dirt and turf courses and is
optimistic for today’s Cab Calloway.
“He’s been doing really well, he’s
been kind of a model horse here since
coming back as a 3-year-old,” said
Kimmel as he looked into the colt’s
stall. Cloud Control stood back, ears
pinned and not showing much enthusiasm for the visitors on his doorstep.
“He’s not really that nice,” Kimmel said. “He’s bit the groom multiple times and one day I looked in to
reach in to push him back over the
yoke of the stall and he came out and
bit me right in the chest. Good thing
I had a jacket on or he would’ve torn
the skin off of me. Once you’ve got a
hold of him he’s OK, but I wouldn’t
trust him all the time.”
If his bark is as bad as his bite, the
8-5 morning-line favorite could be
tough in the Cab Calloway.
The connections of Dearie are ex-
pected to scratch after the Cosmonaut
colt got loose in the stable area and
suffered scrapes in a fall. The 7-2 second choice on the line, the Bluegrass
Cat filly Free N Clear, is also expected
to scratch and wait for the Statue of
Liberty fillies division Thursday.
Mike Lauer’s homebred Utopia
colt Rooftop View is bedded down in
the same area as Kimmel’s string and
he’ll break from the rail in the Cab
Calloway.
Named after the rooftop seating
above the homes surrounding Wrigley field, Rooftop View finished third
in a 1 1/16-mile allowance on the turf
in his last start July 15, breaking his
maiden two starts before June 10. He
needed eight starts to break his maiden and while he’s been a bit inconsistent, Lauer is optimistic about the
colt’s chances.
“Utopia, who’s by Forty Niner, has
produced predominantly grass horses, route grass horses,” Lauer said.
“I have another horse in the barn by
Utopia and he’s the same way. They’re
big, big. We raced his mom, Wrigley
Ivy, in a partnership and when she
was done racing some of them didn’t
want a broodmare. I liked the family and my partner and I still have the
mare.
“He ran last year here, he handled
Belmont, which is bigger than here.
The colt will run good, he ran good
his last start and he likes the grass
here. Hopefully he’ll run great.”
The likely short field also includes
Uno Emayo, who was the first winner
for D’ Funnybone last June at Belmont Park.
Rudy Rodriguez, who won Sunday’s Alydar Stakes with Royal Posse
and two other races over the weekend, brings Uno Emayo to the Cab
Calloway off back-to-back wins at
Pimlico Race Course and Laurel Park.
“It’s a tough race for him,” said
Rodriguez. “But he ran a pretty good
race at Laurel and we’re just taking a
chance. There’s other horses that look
really good in there, but the owner
wants to see him run in Saratoga.
We’ve just got to hope for the best.”
The Cab Calloway field also includes Go Go Lucky, third in the
Spectacular Bid for trainer Mike
Maker; Cuckoo’s Saloon, fifth in an
off-the-turf claiming race July 31 at
Saratoga for trainer Anthony Quartarolo; and Sudden Surprise, entered
main track only.

ALYDAR STAKES RECAP
Saratoga
Specialist
Royal Posse arrests foes,
collects fourth Spa victory
BY BRANDON VALVO
Owner Michael Dubb felt like he was living a dream Sunday at Saratoga Race Course. First, his Court Dancer won the
fourth, a 6-furlong allowance-optional. He visited the winner’s
circle again after the eighth when Fourstar Crook, owned in
partnership with Bethlehem Stables and Gary Aisquith, won the
1 1/16-mile allowance-optional on the grass. Dubb got his picture taken one race later after Royal Posse ran down Touchofstarquality to win the $100,000 Alydar Stakes.
“I’ve run a lot of horses,” Dubb said. “I’ve won six races,
Royal Posse rolls home in Sunday’s featured Alydar Stakes for trainer Rudy Rodriguez.

Alydar –
but three today. Winning three races at Saratoga as
an owner is something I never, ever dreamt would
happen to me. It’s surreal. I work hard at the game,
put a lot of time into it and it’s nice once in a while
to see it work out. Surreal, like I want to cry.”
Royal Posse broke on top in the 1 1/8 mile Alydar while 4-5 favorite Far From Over had a tangled beginning and trailed the field by 6 1/2 lengths
heading for the first turn. Irad Ortiz Jr. eased Royal
Posse in behind Touchofstarquality, taking up the
catbird seat tracking 1 1/2 lengths behind through
a :24.36 opening quarter-mile.
Royal Posse waited through a :48.77 half, but
as the field entered the far turn, Touchofstarquality
scampered away and opened up 2 lengths.
Ortiz asked Royal Posse the question, pushing on his mount and delivering a succession of
right-handed smacks as the field angled for home.
Switching left-handed in the lane, Ortiz implored
the 5-year-old son of Posse. They still had a length
to find with a furlong to run as Touchofstarquality got his first taste of the whip just outside the
eighth pole.
As the finish drew closer, the dirt-covered neck
of Royal Posse kept coming, drawing evenly with
the shiny-coated Touchofstarquality at the sixteenth pole. He edged clear nearing the wire to win
by 1 1/4 lengths in 1:49.93.
Mylute finished 5 ½ lengths back in third, while
Royal Posse and his people meet in the winner’s circle.
previously unbeaten Far From Over struggled home
sixth of seven and 16 3/4 lengths back.
Despite seeing Royal Posse come under an allout drive with more than a quarter-mile to run
and not advancing until the final sixteenth, trainer
Rudy Rodriguez said he felt confident. He knows it
takes the New York-bred a while to get rolling. The
farther, the better, he said.
Tod Marks
“The last couple times we raced him in Saratoga, he usually grinds the horses down, especially
when he’s got a target,” Rodriguez said. “He gives
everything and our horse ran very, very good today
just chasing the horse in front. We know he loves
a mile and an eighth and we know he loves SaraContinued On Page 30

Alydar –
toga. That’s why we put him in this
race and it paid off. He’s a very honest horse and he always tries.
“We’re just very, very lucky to have
him. He’s never missed a note since
we got him.”
The Alydar is Royal Posse’s eighth
win from 31 starts and his fourth at
Saratoga in six starts. Six of his victories have come at 1 1/8 miles. Royal Posse, who pushed his earnings to
$661,245, has never finished worse
than second in his 11 starts for Dubb
and Rodriguez.
Dubb, the leading owner with 58
wins on the NYRA circuit last year,
claimed Royal Posse with Bethlehem
Stables and Aisquith for $20,000
May 31, 2015 at Belmont Park with
one goal in mind: to win at Saratoga.
Royal Posse raced three times at
Saratoga. He finished second, beaten
a half-length in his first outing in the
2015 meet opener, then won an allowance-optional and Evan Shipman
Stakes.
“We knew he was really a true
two-turn, mile-and-an-eighth horse,”
Dubb said. “He won the Claiming
Crown (Jewel) at two turns. It’s been
a dream. Horses like this don’t come
along very often.”
Although Royal Posse’s victory in
the Alydar helped cap one of Dubb’s
most memorable days as an owner, he
wasn’t originally meant to compete
in the stakes restricted to 4-year-olds
and up who had not won a stakes,
other than state-bred, in 2016.
Dubb wanted Royal Posse to compete in a third consecutive New Yorkbred stakes, but there was nothing
available.
“I was hoping for a New York
bred,” Dubb said. “He’s such an honest horse and he tries so hard. The
way to keep him honest is to keep
him in places that he’s competitive,
not running over his head, so that’s
what we try to do.
“I was talking to (racing secretary Martin Panza) today, and I said,
‘I know you guys wanted me in this
race because you need the horses. I’ll
probably win.’ I didn’t get hustled,
but reluctantly I wound up winning.”
On the same note, Dubb isn’t sure
about entering Royal Posse in the
Grade 1 Woodward closing weekend
for his next start.
The Woodward will most likely
come up too tough for the hard-knocking gelding even though the 1 1/8-mile
distance over his favorite surface suits
him. The Evan Shipman, also at 1 1/8
miles the day before the Woodward,
is another option.
“I guess this is the intended prep
for the Woodward,” Dubb said. “The
horses for the Woodward would
probably be too strong, but we’ll see
how the field comes up.”

Sunday –
Baker and Newman Racing claimed
Barrel Of Dreams for $40,000 out of
her maiden-breaking race over a sloppy, sealed track last November at Aqueduct. Although he intended to race
the daughter of Not For Love on the
turf, Mother Nature changed those
plans.
Barrel Of Dreams finished second
in an off-the-turf state-bred allowance December 3 before racing up the
track on fast dirt January 3.
“We claimed the horse specifically
for the turf,” Baker said. “We didn’t
get a chance last year because most
races rained off the grass, but we gave
her the time off and brought her back
this year, basically with the grass in
mind.”
Barrel Of Dreams got plenty of
time off, returning in a claiming race
June 23 at Belmont. Although claiming a horse and putting it on the shelf
for more than six months is hardly an
ideal scenario, Baker’s patience paid
off as the 4-year-old filly won her return and finished third last time out
in a starter allowance July 16 at Belmont before Sunday’s Saratoga win.
“I’m always about patience,” he
said. “You’ve got to give the horse
time to come around, give them time
to heal or whatever the situation, but
it’s all about time. We wanted her
for the grass. We gave her a shot on
dirt, she bombed there, so I figured I
would just wait for the grass.”
Barrel Of Dreams’ win is just the
latest in a stellar meet for Baker. Everything is clicking in the trainer’s stable and he continues to obtain higher
quality runners.
“It’s been a great meet,” he said.
“It’s been pretty good. Put a lot of
effort in and everything is coming
together. We have horses that fit the
meet right now and better horses than
last year. Our stock’s been improving
the last two years. New owners, new
horses, it’s been great.”

shine the usual.
The field included the Broken Vow filly Amapola, who crossed the finish 9 3/4 lengths clear in a
track record of :50.99 over 4 1/2 furlongs in May
at Gulfstream Park before being disqualified for
bumping.
The two fillies hooked up in the 5 ½-furlong
sixth, turned the race into a two-way battle early
and were 4 1/2 lengths in front at the finish. Cherry
Lodge won by a length in 1:03.65.
“I thought she was very professional and showed
some determination and heart to go along with
it,” Pletcher said. “We were expecting her to run
well, she had been training very, very sharply. She’s
certainly been training like one of our best fillies.
We’ve definitely been pleased with her works and
disposition and everything.”
Owned by Gainesway Stable, the daughter of
Bernardini out of Wilshewed, by Carson City, sold
for $450,000 at the 2015 Keeneland September
yearling sale. Pletcher also trained the filly’s full
brother, Grade 3 winner Gala Award.
Pletcher said Cherry Lodge would be pointed to
the Grade 1 Spinaway Stakes Sept. 3.

• Like a bustling Friday night at
a popular downtown watering hole,
the winner’s circle was packed with
members of Parting Glass Racing after Cliffs Of Dover won the seventh.
The 4-year-old son of English
Channel ran as a first-time gelding,
following many incidents breaking
strong, fighting the jockey and exhausting himself by the time he entered the stretch.
“I’m on cloud nine,” said Parting
Glass Racing’s Tom Gallo. “It’s so satisfying with this horse because we just
couldn’t figure him out. Tom (Bush)
patiently changed different equipment and stuff. He tends to fight the
jockey and then of course we did the
ultimate equipment change because
there was nothing left to try.
“Before we gelded him all the jocks
would say ‘I had so much horse, so
much horse and then I had nothing.’
He broke and fought a little bit today
but Luis has got his number, because
what he does is he gets him to relax
and then rather than fight him he’ll
make one long run. Then he can grad-

ually come up without the fight and
then you don’t have to hold him and
holy mackerel he looks fantastic.”
Cliffs Of Dover broke near the rear
of the field under Luis Saez, stayed
wide as the field entered the stretch
and won by 1 1/4 lengths.
“It’s always good to win at Saratoga and it’s particularly good for
Parting Glass because they’re all for
here. It’s fun,” Bush said. “We were
determined to take him back today
and Luis did a fantastic job today of
getting him to take back. The goal
mainly was just getting him to relax,
and castrating him seemed to help a
bit.”

• Trainer Leah Gyarmati closed the
card with her first win of the meet as
Coasted dominated in a 1 1/16-mile
maiden race on the turf.
“Very relieved, it’s been a rough
week or two,” Gyarmati said after the
daughter of Tizway won by 6 lengths
under Jose Lezcano.
Coasted was entered in a turf race
for her first start at Belmont, but
scratched at the gate after flipping
over. Gyarmati put her on the dirt for
Loyalty. Service. Consistency.

where she finished fifth by 3 lengths.
Treadway Racing Stable purchased
the filly out of last year’s Keeneland
September yearling sale for $210,000.
Her dam, the Malibu Moon mare
Malibu Pier, won multiple graded
stakes on the turf with $466,200 in
earnings.
“She was a beautiful filly, great female family,” Treadway said. “This
gets you excited. She ran a really nice
race against some well-considered
horses on the dirt and we wanted
to get a race in her at Belmont. We
put her on the turf originally, and she
balked at the gate the first time out at
the turf. So coming out here at 1 1/16
we had high expectations.”
Coasted raced just off the lead
after the break and stalked the pace

ways going to be long. But you always
wonder this early, after going just one
turn long (at Belmont), you always
wonder how she’s going to be able to
handle two turns long. She did great.
I’ve always liked her, she was actually the 2-year-old that came along the
quickest of what I have. Just happy to
get over this hump.”

theoutsiderail
BY JOE CLANCY
Tom McGreevy buys yearlings. It’s what he does.
Sometimes, they turn out to be Songbird. Other
times, they turn out to be Barefoot Mailman and
if you’ve never heard of Barefoot Mailman that’s
because he won one race and is now a show horse.
“The fact is, most of them don’t turn out, and
you have to accept that a little bit to do what we
do,” McGreevy said two weeks ago after Songbird
won the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks at
Saratoga Race Course July 24 to remain unbeaten
in nine starts for Rick Porter’s Fox Hill Farm.
Songbird, purchased at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga
for $400,000 two years ago, turned out. She won
the 2-year-old filly championship last year, has won
five graded stakes and earned $2,402,000. She
might try to win the Grade 1 Alabama here Aug.
20, but otherwise holds court as one of the five or
so most well known Thoroughbreds on the grounds
for the summer.
But she’s one of nine yearlings McGreevy bought
for Porter in 2014. The others are not Songbird,
though Southern Girl is 2-for-3 for Larry Jones.
“Nobody can predict it,” said McGreevy, holding a cold Corona bottle while most everyone else
sipped champagne in the Saratoga Room after the
Grade 1 win. “We try. We just try to fit the pattern
we’re looking for.”
So does everyone else – at Saratoga tonight
and tomorrow night, at Keeneland in September, at Timonium in October, at OBS, England,
Ireland, California, Japan, wherever young horses are bought, sold and evaluated. Horsemen like
McGreevy watch young horses stand, walk, step,
stretch, adapt and try to turn whatever information
comes forward into opinions. Buy? Pass? Go back
and look again? Call a client?
Judging young future racehorses may be one of
the world’s most inexact sciences, which is what ensures the future of the sport. If one formula worked
every time – spend the most money, breed X to Y

Sales Song
and get Z, buy all gray horses, buy horses born in
May, buy horses with fewer than three white feet,
avoid the white-eyed ones – then there would be no
challenge.
And the people with the formula would have all
the good horses.
McGreevy, and others, frequently talk about a
horse’s walk. Terms like light, lively and springy
get bandied about. Same with reach and scope. Of
course, one man’s reach is another’s awkward.
“I’m so particular about the walk because that
translates to how they move on the racetrack,”
McGreevy said. “The great walks are the toughest thing to find at the sale. You can have a horse
that moves correctly, but that doesn’t mean it has a
great, athletic walk.”
Got that? Get your catalogue, get to Fasig-Tipton
and start watching horses walk. Then again, you
should probably watch them stand, too. Good horses are supposed to be put together correctly. They’re
not supposed to toe in or out. They’re supposed to
have the right angle to their shoulders. Their hips
are supposed to be big, but not too big. They’re
supposed to have strong gaskins (there’s not enough
space to explain what a gaskin is).
“I don’t buy them if they don’t have a great, athletic walk and to have that great, athletic walk they
have to have all the parts fit together to be able to
walk that way,” McGreevy said, taking a pull on the
Corona. “They don’t have to be perfectly correct in
front. I’ve seen horses turn in or turn out in front,
but it’s how they walk through it.”
And then there’s everything else. A racehorse
must be able to handle the details associated with
being a racehorse – attention from humans, noise,
tight quarters, competition. Watch horses walk
down the horsepath to the paddock at Saratoga.
Some pay no attention to the picnickers hanging
over the fence or shouting at televisions on poles
under trees. Other horses observe, take it all in and
decide that it’s OK even if it doesn’t appear to be.
Still others look ready to make a break for it.
At the sale, buyers try to interpret that too.
“A lot of people think (the sale) is not much pressure on a young horse, but it is,” said McGreevy,
whose early career on the racetrack included a hotwalking job with Hall of Fame trainer Frank Whiteley. “I see it like the first time in the big city for
a person. They’re showing all the time, they ship
in, there’s a lot going on. The good horses figure it
out real quick. Every good horse I bought showed
well.”
So where did Songbird fit in all of this? Right at
the top, of course.
“Oh yeah, absolutely,” said McGreevy, whose
yearling purchases for Porter also include 2011
Horse of the Year Havre de Grace. “Songbird is not
that big. She’s an average-sized horse, but she’s one
that if you study and see her walk and see her move
and watch her attitude and all those things, it just
fits together.”
As McGreevy knows, however, none of that
guarantees success.
“We may never come across another horse like
her, really,” he said. “You have to be very fortunate.”
Get to the sale everybody.

cupofcoffee
BY SEAN CLANCY
Tom Law pulled out three bottles of Alexander
Keith’s India Pale Ale, smuggled over the border by
our friends at Woodbine. Tom popped off the caps,
each one spinning and resting on an empty desk. It
was nearing 1 a.m., Saturday night had slipped into
Sunday morning, another Special was at the printer.
Joe, Tom and I sat back with our first beer of the
day.
“We need to figure out our 500th issue,” Joe
said. “It’s got to be coming up.”
Like always, Tom, acted on the thought.
“Well, we’ve got five years right here,” Tom said.
Tom dug into the bound editions from 2001-05,
stacked in order in a cardboard box. He opened the
first book, flipped pages featuring Hap, Point Given
and Came Home and settled on the last issue, Year
1, Number 35.
I punched it into the calculator on my phone.
Four more years, we had reached 163.
As Tom was finishing, Joe was wading deep into
the archives. He shouted numbers, 32, 32, 35, 34
(we lost an issue because of the hurricane), 35, 35…
and last year’s 34.
I hit the equals sign.
“Um, I got bad news,” I said staring at 499, before this year.
Crestfallen and amused all at the same time, we
turned off the computers and the vision of a celebratory 500th edition. It was a good thought.
Joe and Tom packed up and headed out the door
as I sat thinking about 500, er, 512 issues of The
Special. I reached for the first edition and flipped to
page 15 and began to read the first Cup of Coffee.
Poorly written but from the heart, it went like
this…
Day after day. Set after set. Horse after
horse. Story after story. Race after race.
Summer after summer. This right here in
your hand has been in my head. The Saratoga Special, a daily newspaper covering it
all for the six weeks of Saratoga.
It’s been in there, rocking and banging
and needing to get out. And now it’s out.
Will it work? I’ll tell you in six weeks.
It will work if passion counts for something. If good journalism still matters. If
horse racing recognizes a good thing. And it
doesn’t rain…the phones get hooked up…
we get to sleep an hour or two a night…
the ads keep rolling in…the readers flock…
it will work. It will work. It will work. I’m
taping it on the top of my shoes, the mirror
of my car, the backs of my hands. It will
work.
Today is Day 1 of the greatest race meet
in the world and Day 1of a roiling six-week
adventure of writing, selling and convincing from this corner of the office. I didn’t
say corner office.
We’re the kids who started a lemonade
stand because they were thirsty. Now we’ll
see if the lemonade sells.
I’ll be here every day – writing what I
see, what I feel, what I hear in Saratoga.
This paper is brand new, this column is
working on its third year. I wrote my first
journal in 1999 and turned it into the book
Saratoga Days (still available in stores and
out of my car trunk). Last year, I managed
a half journal after breaking my ankle falling in a steeplechase race. This year, it’s
strictly journalism as I retired in November
and dove straight into this project.
I’m sure I’ll always be classified as a steeplechase guy but don’t let that lull you into
thinking this column, or this newspaper for
that matter, is about steeplechasing. I’ll get
a plug for the jumping sport form time to
time but this is everything and everybody
from Albert the Great to Zen and the art of
picking winners.
Today, I introduce myself. Tomorrow,
I let you live Saratoga from morning to
night. From saddle to bar stool. From binoculars in the stands to hooves in the dirt.
This is life in Saratoga – through my eyes
and hopefully into your hands.
In this first issue, we try to give you an
idea of our vision. What we’re here for and
why. After today we proceed with the vision. Every day we’ll try to captivate you,
entertain you, inform you. We believe we
can do it. We’re better writers than sellers.
This isn’t some corporate conglomerate
with divisions and departments, protocols
and agendas, board meetings and shareholders.
“Let’s start a rock and roll band (ever
see Spinal Tap?),” is something you’d hear
around our office. Dreamers, probably.
I was told the other day, it’s OK to be a
dreamer, just be careful living in a dream
world.
This column, a daily journal from Saratoga, will be as close to a dream world as
you’ll get. Saratoga isn’t a bad place to be
in a dream world, that I know. Come here
every day, sit back with a cup of coffee, a
grandchild, a hammock, an open mind and
enjoy a day at the Spa. I know I will.
And, now here we are 513 columns later, I still
feel the same way. As for the next anniversary, we’ll
publish our 1,000th edition some time in 2031.
If you’re keeping track, it wouldn’t hurt to remind us.
